ssh in to what platform? Running which SSH software and version?

This can happen if sshd doesn't set up the controlling terminal properly
for the user's shell, and ends up with the pty being the controlling tty
of sshd. When you hit CTRL-C, the interrupt signal is delivered to sshd
instead of the tail, and sshd dies.

I've only ever seen this with OpenSSH vintage 3.1 or so on Solaris (where
it's actually due to a bug in a STREAMS module, but OpenSSH has worked
around it for a long time).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
